Escapades of MBS

Good story, good protagonist characters, drags a bit, and author a bit wordy but still enjoyable. Will continue series.

Great story.

It was a great continuation of the story. My children’s only complaint was that it was too short.

Such and Awesome book!

This author is brilliant. It’s an incredible storyline and I can’t help but feel that there are some hidden meanings. Would highly recommend for adults and children alike. I listened to this in just a few days. The other books in the series are just as good as well.

Amazing

I absolutely love this series! I wasn’t sure about the narrator when I read the first book, but he’s one of my favorite narrators now.
